Introduction
Thank you for deciding for the blood pressure monitor SC 7600 from SCALA. Electronic
GmbH. To be able to utilise all advantages of the blood pressure monitor to the fullest, you
should carefully read these instructions before using the monitor. Keep the instruction
leaflet in a safe place.
Features of the SC 7600
The SC 7600 is a fully automatic digital blood pressure monitor for blood pressure
measurement on the upper arm. The measuring algorithm is state-of-the-art.
- The blood pressure monitor has fuzzy logic to identify the pumping pressure. If
the pumping pressure set in the factory (approx. 190 mmHg) is not sufficient, the
instrument identifies this and continues pumping.
- The instrument has 2 selectable memories each with 50 memory locations.
- The date and time are displayed and stored together with every blood pressure value.
- Additional WHO-Interpretation of blood pressure readings with coloured LED band (red:
hypertension; yellow: high normal; green: normal blood pressure)
- If your heartbeat is not regular, an icon (see page 9) appears in the LCD.
- If the battery icon is displayed, the batteries are discharged and the device cannot be
used until new batteries are inserted.
- The cuff is suitable for upper arms with a circumference between 22 and 32 cm.
Safety instructions
The blood pressure monitor SC 7600 enables you to monitor your blood pressure regularly.
However, you should never change the treatment which your doctor has prescribed. Self-
3
measurement means monitoring, it does not imply diagnosis or treatment.
Discuss unusual values with your doctor. Do not change the medication prescribed by
your doctor. The heart rate is not a useful indicator of the frequency of a cardiac pace
maker. Patients with cardiac arrhythmia should use the blood pressure monitor only after
consulting a doctor.

Instructions for measuring the blood pressure
In order to obtain comparable values, always measure the blood pressure under the same
conditions, i.e. in a relaxed atmosphere, not after the consumption of alcohol, not during a
meal and not after being exposed to physical or nervous stress.
If possible, make the measurement while being seated at a table.
How to put the SC 7600 into operation / changing the batteries
Put the supplied batteries in the compartment as
indicated on the back of the instrument. Use only alkali
batteries (LR6). Most low-price zinc-carbon batteries
(R6) cannot be used for more than 20 or 30
measurements. If the batteries are flat, an empty
battery will be displayed at the LC display above left:
(see Fig. 3). The battery needs urgent
replacement because you cannot use the monitor with
depleted batteries.
Caution: Do not dispose of depleted batteries with
the household waste. Also see disposal note.
Fig. 4
Alternatively to battery operation, the SC 7600 may also be operated with a special power
supply unit, which is also available from Customer Services. Use of a power supply unit not
approved by the manufacturer will destroy the blood pressure monitor

Troubleshooting and remedies
Possible errors which can occur during a measurement are listed in the table below.
Message Error description Correction
Pressure is not build up in the
cuff. Cuff not applied tightly
enough or leaky.
Apply cuff again and measure again.
Consult customer service if necessary
Pressure is built up very quickly
at the sensor. The cuff is too
tight or the bubble sticks.
Apply cuff again and measure again.
Consult customer service if necessary
Pump defective or pumping
error
Contact customer service
The pressure can not be
measured due to signal noise.
Please take the measurement on the left
upper arm. Make sure of the correct seat
of the cuff. Repeat measurement.
The pumping pressure is higher
than 300mmHg.
Contact customer service
or no display
Low batteries.
Please check and replace the batteries if
necessary. Do not use Ni-Cd or NiMH
rechargeable batteries
From many years of experience we know that most faults are the consequence of wrong
use. The most frequent causes of faults are excessive movement during the measurement,
11
The memory function
The SC 7600 saves up to 50 measurements in every memory area. Together with each
measurement (systolic, diastolic and heart rate), the date and time are also saved. The
measurement with the longest residence time in the memory is assigned number 1. All other
measurements increment by one until number 50. Then the memory is full. The next
measurement occupies memory location 50. The measurement formerly at location 50
changes to location 49 (etc., 4847 .... 21). The oldest measurement formerly at location
1 is lost.
Delete a blood pressure value from the memory
Press the MEMORY key to view the blood pressure value you want to delete. Pressing the
POWRER key instantly (and holding it for at least 4 secs.) displays dEL (for "delete") and
the number of the memory location.
Press the POWRER key instantly and the value will be deleted.
Delete all blood pressure values in the memory
Remove the batteries for about 5 minutes to delete all memory entries, the time and date
settings.
Or: Press the MEMORY key to display any blood pressure value. Pressing the POWRER
key instantly (and holding it for at least 4 secs.) displays dEL (for "delete") and the
number of the memory location Press the MEMORY key instantly and the LCD displays
dEL (for "delete") and ALL (for all memory locations).
Press the POWER key instantly and all values will be deleted. Time and date are not
deleted.
10
Setting the clock
After you have inserted the two batteries, you should set the clock. It starts with year
“2009”, „1/ 1“ (for the 1st month / 1st day) and “12:00“ o’clock after every battery change.
To set the clock, hold the MEMORY button (see Fig. 2) pressed for about 5 seconds. The
year 2009 blinks in the top left corner of the display.
Set the year with the ON/OFF (see Fig.1) button.
When the correct year is set, press the MEMORY button again. Now the 1 blinks in the top
left corner of the LCD. It stands for the month.
Set the month with the ON/OFF button.
Another press of the MEMORY button sets another 1 blinking. It stands for the first day in
the month.
Set the day with the ON/OFF button.
Another press of the MEMORY button takes you to the clock setting the hours blink. As
earlier, set the clock with the ON/OFF button.
Pressing the MEMORY button advances to the minutes setting.
Set the minutes with the ON/OFF button.
A final press of the MEMORY button completes the setting of the date and time
7
The blood pressure measurement
Now connect
the cuff with the instrument by plugging the air
plug at the tube of the cuff into the socket on
the back side of the instrument (see Figs. 1
and 2). Put the cuff around your left upper
arm in such a way that the tube is directed
towards the bend of the elbow, with the lower
cuff edge ending about 2-3 cm above the
bend of the elbow.
Fig. 5
The cuff should be reasonably tight.
Before switching on the instrument, select “your” memory area with the select button, which
you want to use and in which you want to store your blood pressure values by pressing the
MEMORY button. (The BP monitor has 2 different memory areas each with 50 memory
locations. The other memory area can be used by family member or other person.)
After you press the button for selecting the memory area, the word USER 1 is displayed.
Another press of the select button displays the word USER 2.
So select ”your” USER memory. Then wait for 5 seconds until the display disappears. The
monitor has adopted your data and is now ready for taking measurements. Pressing the
ON/OFF button starts the automatic measurement. The cuff inflates to approx. 190 mmHg
pressure.
8
The automatic deflation starts the measurement. After about 3 seconds, a heart icon starts
blinking in the LC display. If a Korotkoff’s sound is detected already at that time, it means a
systolic pressure of more than 150 mmHg. Then the monitor re-inflates (to about 220
mmHg).
At the end of the measurement, the result is displayed in the LCD and the cuff deflates and
the measuring value is entered in the selected memory area.
Irregular heartbeat
If your heartbeat is not regular (irregular), the intervals between pulses are different. If this
happens while you are taking a measurement, the icon ” ” appears in the LC display.
Reasons for irregular heartbeat: (not complete)
Not a cause for concern:
- Sport activity, sauna, stress.
- Measuring error such as loose cuff, wrong posture during measurement
Cause for concern: (not complete)
- Cardiac arrhythmia
If irregular heartbeat is displayed regularly, consult your doctor.
Aborting a measurement
You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the ON/OFF button. The BP
monitor deflates the cuff instantly.
